Upped Dose of Clomid S/Es?

I just started in on 150 mg of Clomid last night and I woke up with the strangest sensation this morning.  I know this sounds insane, but I feel like my head is "hollow" behind my eyes and a little like everything I am doing and seeing is underwater (no blurred vision, no floating spots, etc.).  I have not heard of this as a typical S/E and it is making it kind of hard to muddle through at my job already.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Any tips for still functioning?

Re: Upped Dose of Clomid S/Es?

  • Clomid (50) made me feel like a complete space cadet besides the horrible hot flashes and night sweats.  Clomid (100) nearly put me in the hospital with severe abdominal pain.  It is, simply put, the devil.  The only thing that helped me was stopping.  At that dose, you might want to ask about lose dose injects, which are obviously more expensive, but not bad at all.  I had no s/e on them.  Best of luck.

  • Thanks!  I am really hoping to take the "slow roll" into injectables because I am total freak about needles, plus the expense...if this feeling continues, though, I may not have a choice.

  • I felt miserable on 100mg of clomid. Terrible hot flashes, abdominal pain and I was just felt "weird" yesterday so I can totally relate. I said I felt like I was underwater as well to someone yesterday. My last pill was on Monday and I feel a lot better today. I hope you feel better.
